Firefighters assisted with clearing the scene after two separate accidents that happened in Estevan late last week.
The first call came in in the afternoon of April 30. The Estevan Fire Rescue Service was called to a two-vehicle collision in the northwest part of Estevan.
“When crews arrived on scene it was found that a vehicle has struck a parked car,” said Estevan Fire Chief Dale Feser.
There were some fluid leaks and airbags were deployed. Firefighters brought the vehicles to zero energy, so they could be safely recovered by the towing company. After that, the scene was turned over to the Estevan Police Service (EPS) for further investigation.
The second call came in at 5:30 a.m. on May 1. Members were dispatched to another two-vehicle collision that also occurred in the northwest area.
“Again there was fluid leaking, no entrapment, no injuries … as a result of this,” said Feser.
Firefighters zeroed out the vehicles as well, cleaned up all the fluids and turned the scene over to the EPS.
Fire crews were also alerted to a structure fire in the south-central part of the city. The call came in at about 1:30 p.m. on April 30.
“What was happening when crews arrived on scene was what looked like a mobile home was being moved possibly to another location. But in order to do that, they were doing some hot works underneath the trailer with some cutting torches and some cutting tools and inevitably set some fabric underneath the mobile home on fire,” said Feser.
Crews were able to get in and quickly extinguish the fire. Neither individual working on the trailer nor the firefighters suffered any injuries as a result of the fire.
